4 History Happened Here Oswego County has historic sites of national significance, from the French and Indian War at Fort Ontario in Oswego, to the most documented Underground Railroad sites in New York. During World War II, the Fort Ontario Emergency Refugee Shelter was the only place in America to house nearly one thousand survivors of the Nazi Holocaust. As you visit the historic sites throughout the county, you ll take a step back in time and gain a better understanding of events that shaped our country s history. Dr. Mary Edwards Walker ( ), is the only woman to receive the Congressional Medal of Honor, which was awarded for service during the Civil War. She was among the first women in the country to receive a medical degree, and was cited for valor in going behind enemy lines to attend to the wounded. She was a surgeon, a public lecturer, and an outspoken champion of women s rights.

The British counterattacked from the small island and the French retreated after about an hour. Dr. George Franklin Grant was born in Oswego in 1846 and invented the golf tee. Grant received a patent for the golf tee in 1899, the blueprint for today s wooden and plastic tees. He is a descendant of Tudor E. Grant, who escaped slavery to settle in Oswego in the 1830s.
